Aegean Sea, bioindicator, heavy metal, Macroalgae, MPI, TürkiyeAbstract
The seven heavy metal levels were determined in marine macroalgae species from 15 stations determined from the North Aegean Sea coast. Considering the metal contents varying according to the species and region, the highest concentration determined in the study was Fe, and the lowest concentration was Cd metal. According to the green algae MPI values at the all stations, the most intense pollution was found in the Alsancak, Inciraltı and Güzelbahçe stations located in the inner and middle parts of Izmir Bay. In addition, the present results were compared with the maximum allowable heavy metal values in seaweed and it was determined that the Pb values were high in some stations. In addition, this study also attempted to compare the measured values with international standards for food.
